1.2     Historical Background of First Bank of Nigeria Plc Uyo

          First Bank of Nigeria Plc is one of the largest and oldest banks in Nigeria and was founded in 1894 by a shipping magnate from Liverpool.  The English man, Sir, Alfred Jones, commenced business in the office of elder Dempster, a company in Lagos.  This was incorporated as a limited liability company in London in March 31^st 19894 with original head office in Liverpool under the corporate name of the bank of British West Africa.  The bank started business with as paid-up capital of 30,000 pound sterling after its predecessor, the African banking co-operation established in 1892.

The Bank has achieved a phenomenal growth over the years with an Initial strength of six workers at inception in 1984 comprising three expatriates and three Africans; the labour force has increased to over 10,000 in 1984 and presently the labour force as over 15,000.  First Bank has branches spread all over the federation and in city of London.  It has the largest accounting information system branches in Nigeria.

First Bank of Nigeria Plc in Uyo was established in October 20^th 1955 with all its operation done manually.  But the operations of the entire bank were computerized in 1991 to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
